In many dimensions, the Orbital Patrol is in charge of near Earth space, however the command structure of this force depends on the political arrangements of the nation states. Most are under the auspices of the United Nations, hence the UNOP. Others include the United States Orbital Patrol, the Russian Federation Orbital Patrol, the People's Republic of China Orbital Patrol, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics Orbital Patrol, the Empire of China Orbital Patrol, and the United Empire of Britain and India Orbital Patrol. Mars usually has the Martian Orbital Patrol or the Martian Republic Orbital Patrol or the Empire of Mars Orbital Patrol. Smaller moons often use the names of the controlling entity, hence Amazon Orbital Patrol, Google Orbital Patrol, etc.
